bedlamsbardThis is what I think of school at the moment:
I have nineteen credits right now, plus a service learning component to one of my classes, and I have to get a work-study job. That's six classes, and two of them are honors classes, and one of them is my Japanese class, and I feel like I'm overburdened but I don't particularly want to drop anything. *frowns* Except for the one class I can't drop, because I need it to graduate, and I really, really hate it, and I am about sixty percent positive I'm going to flunk out horribly.
Because the thing with Japanese is that I don't retain the language at all, and I have no particular desire to whatsoever. And I don't like Japanese particularly and the class makes me wretchedly nervous. This is the last semester of it I need to meet the requirement, but I'm wondering if it might be worth it to drop the class and see if I could get into German 102 or something of the sort -- I took two years of German in high school, and I like German much more than I do Japanese. (Though that's not hard.) But then on the other hand -- it's just one more semester of Japanese. Granted, it's just one more semester that may possibly kill me, but hey.
In other news, my Intro to Gender and Sexuality Studies (also my service learning class) looks like it should be interesting; I somehow managed to talk about porn while introducing myself, so I see that people will probably remember me.
My Arab/Israeli Conflict class looks like it may be interesting, but there are a lot of people in it (and a lot of them that are probably Jewish, I think. Tulane has a lot of Jewish students, and also, this is a Jewish Studies class) and the professor needs to speak louder. He's Israeli and this is his first time teaching in an American university; he seems like he'll be good.
Tomorrow I have Antebellum American Lit in the morning, and Ancient Christianity and The Russian Revolution in the afternoon. We'll see how that goes. *sighs*
